Happy Anniversary!

The second anniversary of our blog is fast approaching!

We are surprised and thankful for the number of subscribers, followers and RSS feeds we have. This is what our stats looked like earlier today.

We have made a lot of changes over the last two years. The most important one being that our address has changed and is much easier to remember!

You can now find us at pleasantdaleblog.com. We know people are always searching for our blog. We saw a trend in the various search terms associated with our blog and jumped on this. This name change helps to identify us with not only Pleasantdale School but also with Pleasant Dale Park and anything else that falls under the Pleasantdale community umbrella.

We have also added a link to Paypal for those readers that would like to support us by making a donation. Our blog has several subscription fees attached to it to keep us up and running. These fees include annual url renewals, web hosting, stat counters, account upgrades, etc. For the past two years we have absorbed these costs but it is starting to add up.

Lately we have been asked if we could set up a link for donations to support this blog and offset our costs. If you would like to support us, please click on the "donate" button on the top right corner of the page. Paypal accepts most credit cards, electronic bank transfers as well as funds from Paypal account balances. Any donation would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks for your support and happy reading!

Happy Anniversary and thank you. This has become one of my regular reads. It is timely and gives me more information than any of the PDale government run/tax payer funded entities. I am a regular reader and sometimes blogger.

I found your recent article regarding D107 hoarding millions of our tax payer dollars very disheartening. And here I thought it was the park district that was taking all of our money! Shame on them and thank you for bringing that to our attention.
